Fire investigators have been called in to determine the cause of separate fires that have destroyed two wooden houses in the South Burnett area within a day.<\/p>\n

Twelve fire units – both urban and rural – attended and deployed hoses into the building but it could not be saved.<\/p>\n

The fire was contained at 8:00pm and fully extinguished by 9:40pm.<\/p>\n

The second house fire occurred on Tuesday morning at Inverlaw.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eight fire crews were called to the blaze in a highset Queenslander on Benair Road about 9:30am.<\/p>\n
